🔍 Improvements to search
To improve your search experience, we have implemented a new search query syntax:
Search for an exact phrase:
"search term"
Searches for the exact phrase in quotation marks in any field.
Examples:
"2011 census"
"carbon dioxide"
Search in a specific field:
fieldname:term
Searches for the term specifically in a selected field. Some examples of field names can be found in the table below. Generally they are structured as sectionname.fieldname.
Examples:
summary.title:census
summary.abstract:"linked data resource"

Search for words in proximity of each other:
“term1 term 2”~3
Searches for terms within a specified distance of each other.
For example, "2011 Benefits"~3
matches "term1" and "term2" within 3 words of each other.
Examples:
"2011 Benefits"~3
Search for values in a specific range:
fieldname:[value1 TO value2]
Searches for values within a specified range.
Examples:
coverage.temporal.startDate:[2005-03-27 TO 2011-03-27]
Wildcard Queries:
term*: Matches terms that start with "term", followed by any characters.
*term*: Matches terms that contain "term" anywhere within them.
Examples:
corona*
*audit*
Search with boolean operators:
We now support the three basic boolean operators:
term1 AND term2: returns results that contain both term1 and term2.
term1 OR term2: return results that contain either term1 or term2.
term1 NOT term2: return results that contain term1 but exclude those that contain term2.
Examples:
Cancer AND tumour sample
COVID OR coronavirus
Wales NOT England
Field Boosting:
title:term^2:
Use this to give higher weight or importance to matches found in the title field.
Examples:
title:2022^2
title:NHS^2
Fuzzy Matching:
Fuzzy search is a search technique used to retrieve results that are relevant to a user's query even if the query terms do not match exactly. It is particularly useful when dealing with typographical errors, misspellings, or variations in word forms.
term~: Performs a fuzzy search for terms similar to "term" using edit distance.
term~0.8: Adjusts the fuzziness level to 0.8 for more lenient matching.
Examples:
health~
liver~0.8
